It feels like I haven't been that creative this year but looking back now I think I have actually done a bit more than what I first thought.
Did you try anything new, like new tools or techniques, new styles or subject matters, or completely new artsy or craftsy hobbies? Maybe you participated in a swap for the very first time, or took on your very first commission?I did enter the world of 3D sculpting. I'm still a complete newbie but it is something new. I've also been focusing to paint and sketch realism more.
Pony art? Non-pony art?Both. When I don't really know what to draw I always fall back to pony art
What was your favourite medium to work with?Watercolors! But also markers and colored pencils. And of course digital art
What were your areas of improvement?I'm not sure... Maybe in the 3D area then? I've gone from knowing absolutely nothing to a newbie
I think overall for this year I've been focusing on just doodling and sketch-practice instead of actually finishing something. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing
Tell us about your worst art-related mishap or biggest disappointment!Biggest dissapointment would be that I haven't had time to draw as much as I want to!
As for mishaps, back to 3D again. It's so hard and I've done so many mistakes but that's how one learn I guess. Needles to say I've been cursing... a lot.
Which 2023 piece are you most proud of?Hmm, I think maybe this owl I made with watercolors?

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cw0XUfTNsp3/Show us your 2023 Summary of Art if you've made one! Templates can be found online (dA and elsewhere) - a link is fine if the summary itself can't be posted off-site.This one for my Pony art. Lots of 3D models and 3d Printed ponies!
And here's one for my non-ponyart:
Goals for 2024!Have you made any art-related New Year resolutions or set any goals for 2024?I do have an art idea for a set of twelve ponies that I want to try to complete once per month!
I also have a couple of new 3D projects going on
What would you like to try or experiment with?Gouache I guess. I bought a whole set of gouache since I'm curious about the medium but I haven't used them much yet.
Are you planning to buy some new art supplies? Show us your wishlist!I'm a art supply junkie so I will buy stuff I don't need but still wants!
Right now I need to buy some more spraypaint for a project and I guess I need some more acrylic colors for it too
Are you looking to do any art swaps (private/group swaps, on the Arena or off-site)? What kind of swaps would you like? (Actually I'm thinking of starting a separate thread for brainstorming so keep your eyes peeled!)I truly wish I hade time for it! I'd love to jump in and do more ATC swaps for example if the timing is right
If you were only able to complete one art piece in 2024, what would it be?My husband has wanted a large murial in his garage of our dog for several years now. Maybe this will be the year?
